National Park Service Trading Cards

There was a story in the local paper about the National Park Service's trading card program. I've tried to find some more info on the program, especially a checklist, but the results of my search have been weak.

Greeneville and Greene County Boys and Girls Club members trade 150th Civil War trading cards Monday at the Andrew Johnson National Historic Site in Greeneville. The National Park Service is offering more than 500 of these trading cards to kids to mark the 150th anniversary of the Civil War. (J. Miles Cary/News Sentinel)

It appears that various National Parks and Sites will provide some cards to young visitors. The cards might be an extension of the Civil War cards to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the start of that conflict.
